In dreaming, such a dissociated state as Ruburt reached is of course the rule, only here the ability is used to form the dream images. But these dream images work for the entity as a whole and serve as a means for the various personalities to communicate. That is, in many cases for the previous incarnated personalities to correspond with the present personality. It is a means of acquainting the present personality with its past and also of reminding it of its goals, without disturbing that blatant awake ego.

Nightmares represent only possibilities of disintegrations that rarely occur in actuality. I bring this up since I did mention the word in passing. They are usually not messages as most dreams are from past personalities to the present personality, though they may be messages from the primary personality to itself, as notice of fear or panic that may exist directly beneath the strata of the primary personality.

(“Can you tell us something about the dream Jane had, in which she seemed to be receiving instructions on psychic phenomena?”

There are various types of dreams and dream fragments. I will follow this through also later, since in these beginning sessions I am giving you what may be considered a broad outline to be filled in. These dissociated states often occur in sleep, an excellent time since the ego is quieted. At such times it is extremely possible for present personalities to be visited by others such as myself, but only on the bidding of the entity itself.
